A 4.3 mile total round-trip hike takes you to the highest summit on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, where you’ll trek through tree-covered forests and over lichen-ridden living rock to the summit at 4,461 feet.

This trail system offers a great 5k loop, and a myriad of picturesque areas to explore from forests and marshlands to rocky dirt trails. This is an ever popular place to run, hike or bike, and locals flock to the area on a regular basis.

One of the few destinations within city limits that makes you feel like you are in the mountains. East Palisades gives trail runners and hikers some grueling hills, narrow trails and beautiful scenery.

Known as one of the best hikes in Georgia, Panther Creek will take you through lush, green forests and lead you along a serene path to two beautiful sets of waterfalls. This is great for hiking, trail running and camping as well. You will be bragging to your friends about this one!
